The questions are in and the answers are back! A big Thank You to NFL Films cinematographer Dave Dart for taking the time during playoffs to answer questions from our readers! You all came up with some great ones with topics including focus pulling, film stock preference, shooting style, and the romanticism of football on film.
There's a reason NFL Films has won over 100 Emmy® awards, and here's a sneak peak at how they do it!
HBO continues its run of cinematic originals in 2014 with the eight-episode series True Detective. Written by acclaimed novelist Nic Pizzolatto and set in southern Louisiana, the series stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as two detectives thrust together in a 17-year search for a serial killer.
Cary Fukunaga directs with Australian cinematographer Adam Arkapaw guiding the visuals. Arkapaw, with the features Lore, The Snowtown Murders and Animal Kingdom under his belt, recently garnered an EMMY® Award for his work on the 2013 series Top of the Lake.
Soccer star Abby Wambach was "homegrown in New York State, just like New York apples," exactly what the New York Apple Association was looking for when choosing a spokesperson. Wambach, the greatest goal scorer in international soccer history, is currently leading a multi-platform campaign for the trade association that includes commercials, radio spots, print ads, and point-of-purchase displays. The 30-second television spot, "Abby for Apples," is headlining the campaign.
The commercial features Wambach and a group of children enjoying apples and soccer in an orchard located in Upstate New York. When director Ray Manard took on the project, he knew very early on that he wanted to use film for the spot. "The shoot was all outside, so weather was obviously going to be an unpredictable factor," explains Manard. "Based on the schedule, we knew there would definitely be some high-contrast sun situations to deal with, and film, absolutely, would be able to handle that, the way only film can."
At the end of World War II, General Douglas MacArthur made a difficult decision to spare the life of Japanese Emperor Hirohito. That is the historical setting of Emperor, a new feature film directed by Peter Webber (Girl with a Pearl Earring) and photographed by Stuart Dryburgh, NCZS, ASC (The Piano, Aeon Flux, Amelia).
Of equal importance in the film is the smaller, human story of General Bonner Fellers, the man MacArthur assigns to investigate the matter, and Fellers' relationship with Aya Shimada, a Japanese woman he met years earlier. Fellers eventually risks his career in his search for Aya. Matthew Fox plays Fellers, and Eriko Hatsune is Aya. Tommy Lee Jones is entertainingly gruff as MacArthur.
The last time director Lee Daniels and cinematographer Andrew Dunn, BSC teamed up was on the film Precious, which earned six ACADEMY AWARD® nominations, including one for best picture. "That film was special, and it meant a lot to people," recalls Dunn. "It changed some lives."
The duo's latest collaboration is the extraordinary story of Cecil Gaines, who served eight presidents as the head butler of the White House from 1952 to 1986. The film begins in the cotton fields of Gaines' youth and reaches a climax when Gaines returns to the White House at age 92 to meet an African-American president. Forest Whitaker plays the title role.

Chinese >Empress of China
838 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9410837.794826 -122.406085
Daily 11:30am-10:30pm
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Chinatown
Dirty and overpriced. Avoid!!!!!! – When I first sat down I could not help to notice the very dirty un swept floors. The table settings were literally thrown on the table. At first I thought we had just sat at a table that had been set very quickly, but when I looked around I noticed that all of the settings were thrown on the table with no care. Upon being seated a stuck up SA was sent over with a very dirty kettle that we were actually expected to drink out of.
The service from our waiter was decent just like the food. But when you're paying $15 for an order of curry chicken, decent doesn't cut it. When I was asked if I wanted rice with it I didn't really know how to respond. Later when I was glancing over the check, I noticed that they actually charge a $1.50 extra if you want rice with your CHINESE FOOD. Rice costs almost nothing. Who does that?
We had come in just before the dinner around 5, and our stuck up little SA started tossing wine lists on the tables not caring where they landed. It was very loud and shook the settings but it was obvious he did not care about the restaraunt or his job.
It was clear that they did not care if you came back. I can only speculate that the owners are distant and possibly inherited the restaurant somehow and have no interest in running it.
The view was pleasent, but not worth it. Avoid the Empress of China restaurant.
stellar view, quirky atmosphere – The food ain't great, but that's why you go straight to the bar. Order, as the review suggests, a Tsing Tao, grab the seat by the window, and enjoy one of the best views in Chinatown if not the city. The bonus: All the tourists hang out on the restaurant side, so you'll have the bar to yourself.
Terrible food. Poor quality. Terrible service, why anyone want to eat here? – I went there couple weeks ago. The service was terrible and food was also terrible. One of seafood dish, they used 100 years old frozen shrimps. I could see that they had some freeze burn and dried out. Everything was tasteless. The waiter simply ignored us. We could see there were no local people. only tourists.So, the service was terrible. They just didn't think any of us would come back anyway. They didn't bother to serve us better. When we complained about the poor quality food, the waiter said "I am not a cook. I am just a waiter"
Terrible food. Terrible service. When we asked local people, this restaurant has very very bad reputation. We were so upset and hope nobody go there and get the same feeling.
most mediocre "Chinese" food on either coast – This is NOT Chinese food by any stretch of imagination - bland, overcooked and served lukewarm. The pseudo-elegance of the setting and service only adds to the disappointment. Avoid.
Endorsed by a Chinese person! – As a Chinese person from Asia, I find Chinese American restaurants dubious so I had 0 expectations at EOC. However, we were looking for a kitsch, old-San Francisco place to go at night, and boy this place exceeded expectations! The service must have improved since readers' last complaints, because we had top notch service (I overtipped). Food came on tiny silver platters with battered silver dome covers - very Singapore or Hong Kong circa 1970, back when this kind of restaurant was the height of style in Asia. It's like eating in a museum - go to catch a glimpse of what SF must have been like in the 70's. Or make that the 40's. Bring feather boa and your Vivienne Tam cheongsam. Flambed dessert on copper pan outstanding in appearance and weird in taste. As for the entrees - sure it is Panda Express, but edible. Perfect place to bring either elderly white relatives, or restless hipsters looking for something new and kitsch to indulge. I love the waiters rolling the service carts up to you and saying, with fluorish, "Dinner is Served!" It's not that expensive really, a candlelit dinner will set you back $25-30 per person but you don't leave hungry and anyway it would be twice as much at the "Western" equivalent. Who says Chinese restaurants have to be cheap, delicious and tacky? You are paying EOC for the unique museum feel. Will definitely go back again.
Perfect – As a tourist in Chinatown I was skeptical of where to eat. We stumbled on Empress of China and are so thrilled we did. The atmosphere was perfect with incredible city views. Everything I ate was amazing: from the egg roll and sizzling rice soup to the Shrimp with honey glazed walnuts and empress beef. I could say it was the best Chinese food I have ever had. The waitstaff was so friendly and charming and the decor was beautiful. I would return to eat here and would suggest it to anyone. Although it was a little pricey, it was worth every cent!
Not Chinese Food – The Empress of China is a ridiculously overpriced Chinese restaurant that should be avoided at all costs. With miniscule portions and bland food, the restaurant disappoints on every level. The menu is comprised of unauthentic dishes like lemon chicken and sweet and sour pork, fare that one would order from Chinese take-out restaurant in South Dakota. Their dishes are less creative and flavorful than Panda Express, yet cost three times more. There was little doubt that the food was going to be dreadful as the only Chinese people in the restaurant were the employees. Unless you enjoy fake Chinese food at inflated prices, go elsewhere.
Great views, average food – The best thing to say about this restaurant perched high inside a high rise building in Chinatown is that it has some really great views of the city that come free of change with your meal. My praises of the establiehment end there, howerver. The service is not bad overall, but the food was nothing special, and whatever you do, avoid their Duck dishes, it was overcooked and tasteless.
Great Chinese Cantonese style food – Went there for a banquet dinner, and thought food was really good, especially the peking duck. Waiters seemed friendly for a typical Chinese restaurant. The elevator staff greeted us with a smile, and was helpful. View is really nice!
What A Ripoff – I should have known something was amiss when there was not one Chinese person eating here.$7.95 for 2 spring rolls should have been another clue.I think if McDonalds ever started to serve Chinese food it would be better than the food served here.Avoid this trap the way you would avoid the plague

Poison sent to senator
With VIDEO
|FILE - In this Jan. 29, 2009, file photo Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., speaks during a news conference at the Capitol in Washington, Senate Majority Leader Reid said Tuesday, April 16, 2013, that letter with ricin or another poison was sent to Wicker. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)
WASHINGTON — An envelope addressed to Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi twice tested positive Tuesday for ricin, a potentially fatal poison, congressional officials said, heightening concerns about terrorism a day after a bombing killed three and left more than 170 injured at the Boston Marathon.
One senator, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, said authorities have a suspect in the fast-moving ricin case, but she did not say if an arrest had been made. She added the letter was from an individual who frequently writes lawmakers.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a fabulous wine, with that tell-tale, dense, inky blue color that Angelus always seems to achieve. It displays an extraordinary nose of acacia flowers (or is it violets?) intermixed with blueberry liqueur, black raspberries, cassis, licorice, incense, and graphite. Full-bodied, viscous,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is unusually elegant in 2010 with its refined nose of raspberry and earth though there are background notes of grilled meat and smoke. The supple, mouth coating and utterly delicious broad-shouldered flavors possess a silky texture yet there is plenty of power and punch to the very firmly..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dense ruby/purple-tinged 2007 Cote Rotie La Mouline will be bottled around the time this report is released. A superb effort made in the style of the 1991 (which is drinking beautifully at age 20), the 2007 displays silky, velvety tannins, a seamless integration of acidity, alcohol and tannin,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This wine is fermented in oak tanks, malolactic in barrel, aged on its lees, then bottled unfined and unfiltered. A brilliant wine, opaque blue/purple in color, with an extraordinary nose of the essence of wet rocks intermixed with a floral perfume aspect, it displays enormous creme de cassis,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "98-100 Barrel sample. The aromas are so rich and powerful, with great ripe apricots. There are honey, spice and beautiful sweet spiced pears. This is an extraordinary wine in an extraordinary year in Sauternes."
Cellar/Tasting Notes An inky/purple wine with an extraordinary nose of black raspberries, blueberries, acacia flowers, licorice and camphor, it is full-bodied, multi-dimensional and layered, with silky tannins, stunning purity, and a finish of 50+ seconds. This is an opulent, sexy, sumptuous style of wine to drink over..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Between 900 and 1,000 cases are normally made of the luxury cuvee, the Hermitage Les Bessards. An astonishing wine for the vintage, the 2011 is a candidate for the wine of the year in the entire Rhone Valley. Its black/purple color is accompanied by copious aromas of pen ink, licorice,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Clos de Tart is still a work in progress, but this early tasting is fascinating. Layers of deep, dark fruit nearly jump from the glass in this exotic, full-bodied Clos de Tart. Crushed flowers, violets and spices develop over time as the wine gains its easy upper register. The tannins are..
Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "Perfumed and pretty. Classy and elegant on the nose, with currant, light vanilla and a hint of lilac. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish. All in finesse. Very impressive; could be the wine of the vintage."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is completely different and trades elegance for notably more aromatic complexity as here the nose is impressively broad-ranging with its panoply of ripe orchard fruit, rose, lavender and white flower nuances coupled with notes of citrus peel, stone and spices. There is a discreet touch of..

- 750 mana = 1500g
Total Gold Value (fully stacked) = 2360g
Gold Efficiency
Builds into
Few are fortunate enough to come across the tears of the very goddess who created our world... but those who are lucky enough to acquire a Tear of the Goddess may take pleasure in a significant boost of mana points and mana points regeneration.
- After upgraded into Manamune or Archangel's Staff, the item retains the mana gained from its passive.
- Selling Tear of the Goddess and its upgrades removes the bonus mana. There is a small window of time during which Tear of the Goddess or related items can be re-bought while still retaining the bonus mana stacks. In addition, while any Tear of the Goddess or related item is held, the bonus mana stacks are retained, even if the original item used to gain the stacks is sold.
- Assuming a charge is gained every 4 seconds, the 750-mana unique passive takes 11 minutes and 7 seconds to max.
- The bonus mana does not stack with Archangel's Staff, Manamune, or another Tear of the Goddess.
- The bonus mana does stack with Seraph's Embrace and Muramana. This is due to the fully formed Seraph's Embrace and Muramana not having the Mana Charge passive. The tear starts at 0 however, and must be charged again. Useful in mana stacking strategies such as Muramana Ryze.
- Manaless champions may charge the Tear of the Goddess, Manamune and Archangel's Staff to get Muramana and Seraph's Embrace. However, they won't get any bonuses of Muramana's Awe and toggle, as well as Seraph's Embrace's Insight and Mana Shield.
- Tear of the Goddess is an ideal item for champions with low cooldown abilities such as Ryze, Karthus, Ezreal, Kog'Maw, Urgot or Nidalee (abilities in Aspect of the Cougar do not cost mana).
- It is a good item for champions with abilities that have an upkeep cost like Swain, Anivia, Singed, etc.
- Fiddlesticks and Ryze are the only champions in the game who are unable to charge Tear of the Goddess without an enemy target (factoring only basic abilities).
- The passive cannot be charged with transform ultimates that cost no mana such as Jayce's Transform: Mercury Cannon/ Hammer, Elise's Spider Form / Human Form and Nidalee's Aspect of the Cougar.
- Tear of the Goddess combines excellently with champions with spammable abilities or abilities with low costs that constantly consume mana (e.g. Soraka's Starcall, Singed's Poison Trail, or Karthus's Lay Waste), ideally bringing a fully filled Tear of the Goddess at the 20 minute mark.

The Story of Krishna
We're going to finish with a holy story that I will read you from my heart, from the mirror of the heart. It's the great story of the goddess Radah.
You know that many mortal women make love to Krishna, and Krishna is the sensuous God, the child, the lover. He was often caught stealing butter. He would walk among the villages in the hot, moist, Indian land, and he called the women to join him for an afternoon of lovemaking. Age didn't matter, the rolls of the belly didn't matter, gray hair or black hair didn't matter, curve of the breast didn't matter, marital status didn't matter. Krishna loved all women and all men, and Krishna wanted to be loved in turn.

Dharma Jam Outrageous Acts of Love – Apr 19, 2014
April 11, 2014 By The Editors Leave a Comment
Tbird Luv and Dr. Marc Gafni have teamed up in the creation of a new series of Dharma Party events, during which she and Marc bring dharma, music, empowerment and outrageous calls to action to awesome crowds of movers and shakers in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Some of you may know board member Tbird Luv from some of the Center's events over the past year (such as Eben Pagan's Actualize, the 2013 World Spirituality retreat at Esalen, and the SF Dharma Circles), where she has brought her unique music to Dr. Marc Gafni's teachings, and her collaborative brilliance to other projects with the Center.
A Dharma Party is Not just another event that leaves behind GREAT memories. Instead, those present have a chance to get inspired, and to strategically design the future with aligned relationships and projects that have the potential to make the world a better place.
Here is the invitation to the 2nd Dharma Party – coming up next week on April 19 - which was sent to a list of Bay Area locals who attended the 1st one. If you want to be invited to this Dharma Party – or any of the next ones! - let us know here. We want you there!
New Article on "Loving Your Way to Enlightenment"
March 27, 2014 By Kerstin Zohar Tuschik Leave a Comment
Working on our exciting new Web-Plex that is soon to be launched, we have just published a brand-new article by Annie Lalla & Marc Gafni about the spiritual path of "Loving Your Way to Enlightenment." It will be a part of our new World Spirituality Portal as well as the book project by Chahat Corten Loving Your Way to Enlightenment which organizes Marc Gafni's World Spirituality teachings on love as both the path and goal of spirituality.
And don't miss Annie Lalla and Marc Gafni teaching at Kripalu Retreat Center on June 6-8, 2014 on Loving Your Way to Enlightenment: The Path of Outrageous Love – A weekend workshop with Marc Gafni & Annie Lalla: Through a set of powerful teachings, insights, meditative transmission, movement, chant, and partner work, Marc Gafni and Annie Lalla explore the path of the outrageous lover and teach you how to ignite the experience of outrageous love within yourself.
Loving Your Way to Enlightenment
by Marc Gafni and Annie Lalla
We have killed all the Gods except for Aphrodite. Aphrodite is the goddess of True Love. True Love is the altar before most of us still worship. Our new sacred credo is "I love you." Our true sacred credo is usually revealed when the stakes are the highest—at our moment of death. When planes hit the World Trade Center and people had a few seconds to live, they called home and recited the credo, I love you.
And yet somehow our spiritual world of practice has become separated from our world of love. Our enlightenment studies seem to often point us beyond personal love, which is viewed as the realm of attachment and separate self.
It is for that reason that we want to invite you to a new spiritual path: The path of Loving Your Way to Enlightenment.
Enlightenment is knowing your true nature. Your true nature however is not just one taste as some are wont to say. It is two tastes. In Yoga terms we might say that your true nature is Shiva and Shakti. Shiva is being. Shakti is becoming. Shiva is your deep sense of being. It is the deep impersonal unchanging essence that lives in and as your deepest identity. Your Shakti nature is more connected to the dynamic dance of becoming. Shakti is the love intelligence that lives awake in you and as you. The impersonal enlightenment of Shiva may be available sitting in meditation alone. But if you awake to the realization that your true nature is personal Shakti love, then just sitting meditation will not get you there. This is not the personal before the impersonal but the personal beyond the impersonal. You will have to awaken to your true nature as personal love. Or said differently you have to "love your way to enlightenment."

3rd Annual Mystery School and 1st European Integral Wisdom Conference on Love, Eros and Enlightenment
March 22, 2014 By Editor Leave a Comment
Spring has arrived, and we are excited to announce our 3rd Annual Mystery School, and our 1st Annual European Integral Wisdom Conference, both to occur during the week of our Summer Festival of Love at the Venwoude Integral Practice Community in Holland, the week of July 26 – August 2.
Being a scholarly think-tank, we do like to exercise a certain amount of restraint in describing our events, but honestly, we are still carrying the "Holy Buzz" from the Summer Festival and Mystery School of last year. We have received enthusiastic reports from all participants throughout the year, and clearly, the Summer Festival of Love has become a signature event for the Center for Integral Wisdom. Promotional Flyer here—>
Last year, 150 participants attended, filling all of the accommodations. This year Venwoude has promised room for 200 participants, and an early registration is recommended. Register here—>
With Marc Gafni leading, our previous Mystery Schools have attracted many participants from all over Europe and the Americas, contributing to the expansion of our European Center for Integral Wisdom faculty. Our faculty members in both Europe and the Americas are vital links in evolving the source code of human consciousness in all of our cultural and professional spheres.
The Age of Digital Intimacy and the Movie "Her"
March 19, 2014 By The Editors Leave a Comment
In a new installment of the Digital Intimacy Dialogues, evolutionary mystic Marc Gafni and embodied artist Megwyn White explore the seven levels of intimate evolutionary emergence in the recent movie Her. In it they explore the relationship between digital and dharma, the nature of intimacy and the post-conventional possibility in relationship as hinted at in this culture evolving movie on intimacy and possibility.
Listen to the audio and/or read the transcript here>>>
by Marc Gafni and Megwyn White
The World of the Web would seem to be the place for connection. Its very name -Web – means the very same. And yet paradoxically the Web seems to bring with it a great loss of intimacy. We are no longer face to face. There is an ever more confusing terrain of gadgets and gizmos. Never before in history have we been so "connected" yet desperately seeking contact.
The gap between connection and authentic contact seems to be an ever widening chasm.
Are our Facebook friends really friends? Is their depth, commitment and meaning in our connections on line?
Does the virtual have virtue in its web of values. Can connection yield true contact? Can digital information and method of connecting birth new intimacy? [Read More...]

It was a weekend of creation, vision, implementation, manifestation and outrageous love. We were hosted in the beautiful home of board member (and future author of one of the core books) Terry Nelson. Terry and Betsey took the word gracious and hospitality up to a whole new level.
Special Community Lineage Days at Venwoude and Conscious Capitalism Event at Nijenrode University
February 26, 2014 By Kerstin Zohar Tuschik Leave a Comment
We just completed a very special series of events at our Teaching Center at Venwoude in Holland. Dr. Marc Gafni taught two Valentine's Day events in a very beautiful church in Amsterdam. This was followed by a wonderful and very intimate two-day retreat at Venwoude on Saturday and Sunday. Capping off the 4-day weekend, we had an outstanding presentation at Nijenrode University on Conscious Capitalism with Prof. Dr. Paul de Blot, Dr. Marc Gafni, and Ken Wilber (via Skype) in front of 150 enthused Entrepreneurs.
Valentine's Day at Vondelkerk Amsterdam
A packed house of people celebrated Valentine's Day in an old beautiful Church in Amsterdam with Dr. Marc's Dharma on Outrageous Love. It was a day of profound new dharma, deep practices, and a stunning community of Outrageous Lovers. Dr. Marc took us deeply into a practice space with dyad practices, chanting, and intimate sharing. The evening session seemed to explode–after a very quiet and subtle beginning with hearts meeting in Chant and Meditation and finally and melting open into the Inside of the Inside–with a fireworks of Dharma on Outrageous Love and Unique Intimacy.

Wisdom for your Week: "Open, Not Closed" Meditation
June 11, 2013 By Heather Fester 2 Comments
This week's audio wisdom meditation with Dr. Marc Gafni comes from Week 7 of the Awakening Your Unique Self 10-Week Telecourse, themed "Unique Self: A Paradigm Shift in Loving." This beautiful meditation, created by Dr. Marc for the course, takes us into the embodied taste of our own openings and closings, teaching us to recognize each moment and our relationship to it. In this meditation, Dr. Marc says, "Your true destiny unfolds freely when you live every moment open as Unique Self and shine as your unique offering of outrageous love." So, to become Unique and Outrageous Lovers, we can learn to recognize how love is a "perception-identification complex," which allows us to see with God's eyes. In living from an open rather than closed place, we access our purpose and greatest offerings of love.
Please sit back, relax, and prepare to experience the tastes of living open as love as part of this Wisdom for Your Week offering. You can also access the transcript to accompany the meditation below. [Read More...]

1000 Cole St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9411737.764787 -122.449630
7 days a week, 7am to 6pm
Neighborhoods: Ashbury Heights, Central
MOST MISERABLE STAFF EVER! Great pastries... – I am a nanny in Cole Valley and when I started working with this family they informed me that the kids like to go to Boulange after school on fridays for a treat..so this is our ritual. I have to admit though, every friday I absolutely dread when 3 o'clock rolls around and I know that the kids are going to start asking for Boulange. I have NEVER in my life gone to a cafe/restaurant/store/anywhere and been met with the same staff each time and consistently had horrible service. A bad day I can understand, but EVERY friday being horrible? I just dont get it. I have never seen a member of this staff smile and pleasantly greet myself or other customers. The only time I have ever seen the 20something staff seem to be enjoying themselves at work is when they are conversating with each other. I, myself, am in my 20s and have worked retail and I have never met anyone in my experience with the attitude these people have.
They are never on top of cleaning up tables or restocking condiments. The water dispensers have been empty every single time I have gone here.
The pastries here a good, but unless you want to feel uncomfortable to entire time you are eating here, I would reccommend going some place else ... you can find other cafes with pastries just as good within a few blocks.
terrible service – I have stopped going to this bakery because the staff is so rude. The pastries may be delicious but it's not worth the aggravation.
Atrocious Staff/Owner – I live a block from Boulange de Cole Valley, and really wanted to like it. The food is awesome and the atmosphere inside is lovely.
Unfortunately, every time I go, the counter staff do something so rude, I remember why I hate the place. Today the old asian lady behind the counter actually yelled at me when I couldn't remember what I ordered right away.
Put the staff on Prozac and this'll be a Cole Valley institution. Until then, avoid it unless you like abuse.
great pastry, divine french toast but bad service, shaky tables***pls replace them*** – ok 4 stars for the pastries and cakes. 5 for the french toast. 2 for the frittata: tasteless and loaded of potatoes, 2 for the soggy baguete ready to go, 4 for the homemade bread. Unfortunatley I have to rate the service only with 1 star. Only the middle aged lady (Linda?) and another super nice guy are always smily.The rest of the stuff is always misarable, they hardley greet you and almost never reply with a welcome to you thank you. What is wrong with the staff here?!!!! also, please change the shaky tables, most of my coffee gets spelt all over . I would give a 4 starts to this place but the bad service and the lousy table plus dirtiness around make it down to three
Attention all Francophiles and pastry lovers – I come here every weekend I can and am eating my way through the entire menu -- haven't had anything I didn't like yet. Mouthwatering pastries of all kinds, great salads that are a value, and a fun place to have a coffee and hangout (they let you stay as long as you want). Service a little hectic.
Go for the tartines, stay for the pastries – This is where I study, bring my daughter for weekend breakfasts and bring out-of-towners, especially for brunch. Everyone is always happy. The tartines (especially the salmon), salads, and soups are all wonderful -- everything tastes fresh, authentic (French), homecooked, and not oversauced or salted. The granola is sinfully good. The pastries are beautiful eyecandy as well as a delicious finish to brunch or lunch (save room!) Pluses include the lovely Euro ambiance, large farmhouse tables, coffee served in bowls, salads served on beautiful square dishes, etc. I can think of two big minuses though: long lines and big crowds on the weekends often mean simply leaving and vowing to come back before 10 am next time. The other one is the fact that they are always short-staffed and many of the staff have the absolute worst ATTITUDE. They seem to hire mostly 20something hipsters who clearly would rather be someplace else. I have been ignored, given dirty looks and hostile words by the waitstaff, who seem to regard all patrons with disdain. I wish they would at least keep a manager on hand to help out with this issue. And yet, I keep coming back. :)
excellent coffee, pastries – This is a favorite spot for locals and for people working at nearby UCSF. The bakery has excellent light from the West, and outdoor seating with a great view of the Parnassus/Cole intersection. great for people watching.
The bakery consistently has one of the best coffees in town and you get free refills. great brioches, croissants and salads.
I found the staff to be friendly, if perhaps a bit overworked.
A high quality SF bakery. I recommend it.
Rude staff – Upon a staff member turning away from us mid-order, we continued to the check-out where I ordered a soda. The rude female behind the register asked if I had already ordered it, and when I said "no", she rudely raised her eyebrows and shook her head in disbelief for not having done so. The food is not bad, but the service left the worst taste. I would expect more from what appears to be an elegant establishment.
I Love This Place! – One of the many things that makes me LOVE my neighborhood! I only found out the ACTUAL name of the place today (up until now, I've been calling it "That French Place on the Corner". Could be confused for Zazie with that description, except that Zazie isn't on a corner). Every time I've been there, I've been delighted: absolutely LOVELY pastries, excellent coffee, served in proper porcelain cups (or bowls). Everything is very well-prepared & tasty; one of the best interpretations of French Toast I've had in a long time. This is definitely one of my favorite cafes in the neighborhood, and we have our share of nice ones! My only complaint is that it can often be difficult to get a seat, as the place is so popular & buzzing (particularly on the weekends). Don't visit this cafe, though. Because then it'll be even HARDER for me to get a seat! Stay in your own neighborhood! Boulange de Cole Valley is for US!!!
Authentic French breads and pastries bring out the neighborhood in Cole Valley. – The Scene
It seems as if all of Cole Valley gathers at this casual eatery: parents with small children, the self-employed who use the generously sized tables as an office away from home, and those looking for tasty baked goods and great coffee.
The Food
The breads and pastries at Boulange de Cole Valley can be even better than those in France. The cannelés de bordeaux (small cakes baked in wax-lined molds) are not to be missed; neither are the macaroons, available in a variety of flavors and packages. Along with perfect pains au chocolat and baguettes, the low-key hangout serves simple meals. Tartines (open-faced sandwiches) range from the traditional charcuterie with cured meat and pickles, to the innovative jardin with eggplant, tomato and béchamel sauce. Even the croque monsieur is the real deal--its layers of cheese, ham and béchamel broiled to perfection.

Welcome back to An Expert's Audit. Every month we'll take an in depth look at a reader's keeper league team in the hopes of helping him toward a championship. If you're interested in getting an audit for your own keeper team you can begin the process by emailing Dobber about it.
Dobber tells me that apparently I don't like points leagues because most of the time when I do an audit I choose a roto setup. That's probably true. I just prefer roto setups. So ... this month I decided to change it up and select a points league format. Jules Dufour plays in a 15 team league where he is the reigning champ. It's a points only format except goalies have this complicated formula that I think Stephen Hawking figured out and put in place. Suffice it to say that you want skaters who get points and you want goalies that get Wins and Saves.
Most of the preseason work that needed to be done was to determine which 7 keeps from last year's championship squad to secure for this year and which rookie eligible player would also join this year's team. The draft was to happen in early October so we just had to ensure that the draft list looked fine and then off Jules would go in his journey toward a repeat.
7 Keeps and a Rook
Nicklas Backstrom WAS – notice that the Centre in Washington also has a "c" in his first name, that's how you tell them apart if you don't have more info by the way. He's come into his own as a fantasy producer and many guys had him listed in their top 5. Since you don't have to worry about the scarcity of goals vs. assists in your format then I say he could go as high as top 3 in drafts.
Daniel Sedin VAN – some are still saying he's the better twin to have on your team, he just doesn't have the hardware in his trophy case that his brother does. Nevertheless he's 1st round draft talent in a 15 team league so essentially you have two 1st round picks among your keeps.
Rick Nash CBS – like Sedin he has more value in leagues that track goals as a separate category but he's still solid 2nd round talent in a 15 team league. If he's healthy then he WILL be returning to 40 goal status this season.
Nathan Horton BOS – Dobber's Draft List for this season had him listed as the 50th skater and I personally had him listed 43rd on my own projections this season. I take from that that I have a much higher projection for him this season. I'm expecting a big breakout for him this season and I expect that the B's will be all that much better for having him around their offense. I don't think that 70-80 points this season is impossible.
Mike Green WAS – in a straight points league there is no D in the league that is a better option than Mike Green. What more needs to be said here?
Duncan Keith CHI – if Green is the best option to have then Keith isn't very far behind him. It's phenomenal that you have BOTH of these guys.
Marc-Andre Fleury PIT – you had to choose between MAF and Varlamov for your last keep. I was arguing that MAF had the better situation since he had lesser talent chasing him for starts than Varlamov does and then Varlamov got hurt making the argument moot anyway. I'm projecting close to 40 wins for MAF this season.
Nikita Filatov CBS - ROOKIE – both Filatov and Varlamov still qualified as rookies in your setup so there was considerable conversation around who should be your rookie keep. I very much wanted you to keep Filatov here and I was grateful that Dobber had ranked him higher than Varlamov so I just went with that argument. If Filatov turns into a Kovalchuk goal-scorer type then you'll be golden for years to come.
Draft Day
You had a late draft day, that was helpful; it enabled you to tweak your draft list for as long as possible. To make things a little tricky on yourself this season you had traded away your 1st and 2nd round draft picks in order to secure your championship last season and you had secured a 2nd round pick in return. That meant that you wouldn't have a pick until the middle of the 2nd round and then you'd select last in every round after that. The win is always worth it but it sure does hurt when you have to pay the piper at the draft next season. You started with Dobber's draft list and we tweaked things based on your interests. Going into the draft you wanted to base your offense from the back end by getting solid D options whenever possible.
2nd round – Travis Zajac NJ – I was a bit astounded that he was still available with this pick and the only other considerations I would've considered instead were Henrik Lundqvist or Jaroslav Halak who were both available. I see at least 70 points for Z this season in your format.
3rd round – T.J. Oshie STL – Nik Antropov was available and I probably would've gone that way but T.J. has a shot at keeper status due to his age and upside. If he clicks big he could be in for a really nice season.
4th round – Ian White CAL – I just know that White is going to have a big year but as I look at how your draft went I see that Patrik Hornqvist went with the next pick after White and I'd rather have Horny in this situation. I think it's no matter though because I expect a 40 pt season out of White this year and you wanted to be sure to have good D options for your team.
5th round – Cam Barker MIN – this is a risky pick if you ask me. He could turn out to be a great compliment to Brent Burns on the PP or he might just end up with a career like Marc-Andre Bergeron since they he could easily be labelled as a PP triggerman with no value in his own end.
6th round – Pekka Rinne NAS – I don't get how he lasted this long in your draft. In a league where you need goalies who get saves and have a decent shot at wins then you've got yourself an excellent choice with excellent skills and opportunity.
7th round – Jiri Hudler DET – I love this pick here. Guys still available included Jason Arnott, Scott Gomez and Mason Raymond but I just think that Hudler has more upside than those guys this season because he's got more to prove. He's getting PP2 opportunity with Flip and Mule and most of his even strength time so far this season has been with Cleary and Modano. If he can move up into some 2nd line opportunity then his stats will increase dramatically.
8th round – Anton Babchuk CAR – he got 35 pts two seasons ago and I definitely saw him getting overlooked in drafts this season. There are several options for PP time for the Canes this season but I still see a shot at 30-some points this season.
9th round – Kyle Quincey COL – I'm pegging him for another 30 pt season this year and that's pretty good at this stage of a 15 team draft. I did notice that Cam Ward went in the round after Q went and that's just plain wrong on so many levels. Nevertheless, you had your goalies already set.
10th round – Sam Gagner EDM – he's got the skills to be a top C option and so far this season he's getting ice with Hemsky and Penner. Opportunity like that can go a long way for him and if he takes huge advantage of this he could explode for stats this season. It is chances like this that win people fantasy championships and this could be well worth the gamble.
11th round – Pierre-Marc Bouchard MIN – he's still at least a couple weeks away after only putting in 1 game last year. The Wild are so desperate for offense that as soon as he's ready he'll get plenty of chances with the best options the Wild have to offer.
11th round (2nd selection) – Valtteri Filppula DET – he hangs out with Mule and Bert for the most part and that could go a long way for some general offense if everyone stays healthy this season.
12th round – Ryan Ellis NAS – well, you took a chance that he'd make the Preds and then contribute offensively, particularly with the man advantage. As I thought about it more though it seemed that perhaps you're just planning for your rookie pick for next season and this makes more sense as I consider it in this light.
I have some concerns for your team. You'll need PM Bouchard to return soon and contribute significantly for you this season and it seems to me that the best reason to draft Ryan Ellis is to protect your rookie interests for next season. I'm doubting Ellis will have much value (if any at all) for you this season.
The season is young and I find that the best advice at the beginning of the season is to take your time and find out what you have before you decide what you need to go after. Draft time is always fun though eh? It just takes a little time to figure out what you have at your disposal. In the meantime, I'm just an email away Jules. Best of luck to you.

The Heroic Dosser 1987
- Scottish Art
Working-class male figures are central to Howson's work, and this painting elevates its subject to that of hero. Dramatically lit, the large canvas is dominated by the huge, solid figure of the Dosser, who firmly grasps the railing as if to steady himself against what appears to be a surrounding mass of water. Although isolated, he is proud, strong and defiant. Behind him, a forbidding-looking building looms ominously – it appears to rest on his shoulders, perhaps suggesting that he carries a burden with him. At the time this work was painted, the artist had a studio in the Gallowgate area of Glasgow, near to a hostel for the homeless. Howson made the painting from memory, based on a man he saw nearby. It is the first of a series of pictures of 'dossers,' made in different media.

Banks can be a positive tool when shaping kids' relationship with money
Spotlight on Finance
According to the FDIC, nearly one-third of the U.S. population does not have a bank account or make regular bank-based financial transactions, such as check cashing, deposits or loans. The outcome for this percentage of people, which is greater than 100 million Americans, is predictable: higher fees to access important financial services while not developing the important history needed to qualify for a mortgage, secure a business loan or borrow for education. The truth about banks is this: they are an important tool for helping individuals build financial prosperity, regardless of income and age, and they should play a large role in the financial education of children.

How women can use networking and educational events to learn, grow
Spotlight on Finance
As women in business, most of us have had the good fortune of working with a strong mentor. Many of us have also served as mentors ourselves, sharing what others have shared with us and what we have learned with others. In the process, we all become better—better professionals and better people. Networking and educational events that are developed to address the unique needs of women serve a similar function. In fact, in today's wired world, events like Key's upcoming "Healthy, Wealthy and Wise" conference are becoming more important than ever. They offer new ways for us to make connections, build skills and learn at a time when one-on-one opportunities to exchange ideas and experiences are harder to come by. You just need to make sure you're spending your time at the right events and optimizing your time.

Michael Burton
Southwest Regional Manager
At Silver Oak/Twomey since: 2013
From working in small, fine dining restaurants in Boston to helping open the giant Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas, Michael Burton has a wide range of wine industry experience that serves him well in his role as Silver Oak's southwest regional manager. Michael's 17 years in wine includes both distributor/supplier management and restaurant work; he was a key account manager with Wirtz Beverage in Las Vegas and spent a decade with Wilson Daniels, Ltd. representing some of the greatest wines from around the world prior to joining Silver Oak.
One of Michael's favorite wine quotes is from Gerald Asher, author and longtime wine writer for Gourmet magazine: "Wine is not described by pH or flavors of green olives, but by People, Places, and Time." Indeed, Michael loves nothing better than introducing a customer to a Silver Oak or Twomey wine and watching them have that "Aha" moment. Michael recently passed his Court of Master Sommelier's Certified Sommelier Exam, a one-day exam given in three segments: a blind tasting of two wines, a written theory examination, and a practical service examination.

Gov. Kasich says he doesn't want thanks for Medicaid expansion, gets a painting instead
The Columbus Dispatch - March 15, 2013 11:03 AM
Gov. John Kasich's push for expansion of Medicaid to cover more people, including those in need of mental health treatment, has drawn rave reviews from advocates.
Speaking yesterday at a rally set up by mental health advocates, Kasich said he doesn't want or deserve thanks.
However, Terry Russell, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness Ohio, gave Kasich a gift he couldn't refuse - a painting done by a 15-year-old girl currently receiving treatment for mental illness.
The picture shows a open garden gate representing "coming out of darkness into the light."

November 24th, 2010
The response of authorities to the latest stage of the crisis, where fears have moved on from individual company balance sheets to country balance sheets, has been very different. The U.S. introduced quantitative easing (QE) and the UK followed suit, while Europe did very little.
While the European Central Bank has purchased European Sovereign bonds, this has been limited in size and, unlike the U.S., the ECB has attempted to sterilise all purchases by taking liquidity out away from banks in other ways.
The EU responded to the peripheral crisis in May by enacting a bailout for Greece and developing a structure that could be used for other sovereigns. However, the EU also recognised the need to address the core of the problem of rising deficits and ballooning Debt/GDP ratios driven by fiscal profligacy in the good times, and not merely slower economic growth. The latter has shown up the unsustainable nature of the former, rather than actually causing it.
Therefore the EU response has been to ensure liquidity is available on condition of fiscal reforms to address the underlying problem. The result is spending cuts in most European countries with, Ireland now on its second austerity budget and among other reforms, long-needed tax reform in Greece and labor reform in Spain. Even the UK has now introduced a big fiscal austerity package.
What is clear is that the European Core - especially Germany - who have run a better balanced economy for years and suffered with slower growth in the boom times, are now re-asserting their own fiscal orthodoxy.
The Maastricht criteria was ignored during the crisis but was a key part of the original Euro creation to help the stability of a currency union that was not backed by political and fiscal union. A return to Maastricht budget deficit of 3 percent is a long way off, but the basic principles are being re-established.
In contrast, the U.S. response seems to have been to do whatever is needed to stimulate growth and jobs and worry about fiscal issues later.
The latest example is QE2 with the Fed effectively printing more money and the dollar responding accordingly. The surprise is that bar a recent move, this strategy has not resulted in higher bond yields as the U.S. Treasuries have continued to benefit from a flight to quality.
While there is general acceptance that QE1Â was broadly beneficial in early 2009 for an economy on the brink of depression, there is much more scepticism of the benefits of QE2. One risk identified by numerous commentators is increased levels of tensions with international trade partners. One of the likely effects of QE will be to weaken the dollar and China has already been heavily critical of what it sees as an irresponsible and dangerous monetary policy. Other countries for example in Latin America have imposed capital controls to limit âhot moneyâ flows out of dollars and into their own currencies.
Despite the benefits of QE1, the overall response of the economy in terms of growth and employment was disappointing. The reason was that QE failed to address the problem of lack of demand for credit as borrowers everywhere concentrated on restoring their own balance sheets.
In this environment, artificially lowering bond yield does little to encourage borrowing. At the same lending institutions are reluctant to increase loans. Banks are still generally very cautious on the outlook and are keen to keep liquidity. At the same time the introduction of new capital rules for banks means there is still doubt on future capital requirements with the only certainty being that it will be higher than before. This deadlocked scenario is known as a âliquidity trap,â and QE2Â is therefore unlikely to make any bigger impact on these problems than QE1.
In short the crisis was caused by a sustained period of ever-increasing leverage with little attention paid to risk or understanding of the underlying assets.
The European response has been perhaps slower than the U.S., but has generally been characterised by ensuring that there is sufficient liquidity available to ensure that economies function where the markets are unable or unwilling to provide this.
At the same time Europe has addressed the issue of over-leverage by forcing the introduction of fiscal austerity and much need labour and tax reforms.
The U.S. approach has been to address the issue of over-leveraged consumer and corporate balance sheets by massively expanding the Fed balance sheet and continue to issue Treasuries in ever larger amounts to drive growth - leaving concern about the U.S. debt burden to a time when growth is once again strong.

NKS Bibliography paper on:
"Ackermann's Function and New Arithmetical Operation".
C. A. Rubtsov and G. F. Romerio.
Mathematicians and AI experts are aware of the infinite hierarchy of arithmetical operations (the Grzegorczyk hierarchy), implied by Ackermann's function. The small hierarchical levels point to standard operations such as addition (s=1), multiplication (s=2), power/exponentiation (s=3), as well as to a very compact unusual operation called "tower" or "tetration" (s=4), i.e. iterated exponentiation, about which some documentation starts to be available. Actually, this hyper-operations hierarchy is unlimited.
Moreover, in 1989, Constantin Rubtsov has shown that Ackermann's function itself can be used to define a new operation with a hierarchical level less than that of addition, i.e. for s=0 [Rubtsov, C. A. - Algorithms ingredients in a set of algebraic operations - Cybernetics - Kiev - 1989 - N° 3, p. 111-112 (In Russian). http://numbers.newmail.ru/english/01.htm ]. This new operation has been called "zeration". The inverse operation of zeration (commutative) generates a new class of numbers (the Rubtsov's "delta" numbers) that can be put in bi-jection with the set of the logarithms of negative numbers.
"Tetration" is easily analysed for all natural levels s>0. Nevertheless, its study for negative arguments implies again the logarithms of negative numbers and, therefore, is connected with the analysis of the inverse of "zeration".
The objectives of the study of the hyper-operations hierarchy can be placed in various domains of the NKS thinking:
a) The hierarchy is infinite. This could be put in evidence in a new presentation of the theory of numbers. In fact, emergence of new classes of numbers should be expected, in performing the inverse operations of any of the hyper-operations with ranks other than 1, 2, and 3.
b) The new zeration operation can be used to systematically describe discontinuities such those normally defined by the step or Dirac's function.
c) The study of the new delta numbers, obtained via the inverse of zeration and corresponding to complex multi-value numbers, might have an important theoretical impact.
d) Tetration can be used to represent very large numbers. Representation of large numbers via iterated exponentiations, could be used, in high level computer programs like Mathematica, to show "tetration orders of magnitudes", instead of simply "overflow". Appropriate Mathematica hyper-operators could be also systematically defined.
Tetration and higher-level hyper-operations give an idea of "immensity" and could be a tool for a new approach, for instance, to the theory of infinite ordinals

Corrections and clarifications
Some discussions are going on in the Web concerning the definition, meaning and possible use of zeration (e.g. in Wikipedia). We should like to clarify that zeration is, indeed, justified by the Ackermann Function, but it is not always coincident with the "successor" operation, except in some particular and precise situations. Zeration, in fact, is part of the infinite Grzegorczyk's hyper-operations hierarchy and, therefore, it is a true binary operation, like addition, multiplication, exponentiation, tetration, etc. . On the contrary, the "successor" operation is a "monary" operation, which, for any integer n, defines its successor as n + 1.
For clarifying better its definition and all its properties, the new zeration hyper-operation requires a complete over-all presentation, including the Algebra of the Rubtsov's Delta Numbers, which is being prepared and will be posted in the NKS Forum as soon as possible.

I am six weeks pregnant with my first child and in the process of finding a midwife. I would like to do a homebirth, and it seems like most home births are with CPMs. However, I would like for this to be covered by my insurance, which wants me to select an in-network midwife. From what I can tell, the in-network midwives are all CNMs who don't do home births.
I am writing to see if anyone has any insight or advice. A CNM who did homebirths would be fine, or a CPM who's in the Cigna network would
work too. Has anyone come across this predicament before?
Depending on the laws governing midwifery in your state, you may not be able to find what you're looking for. You can check on the midwifery laws by going to www.mana.org or www.narm.org. For ex., in my state, only CNMs (who have medical doctor backup) and medical doctors can legally catch babies at home, so they are the only midwives who can take insurance. We also have one (wonderful) doc who only attends women at home (he doesn't do hospital births) and he takes Medicaid only. Some women find that they qualify for pregnancy Medicaid but they don't normally qualify for "regular" Medicaid so maybe that's an option for you. I am not that familiar with the Medicaid regs to know whether you can have insurance plus Medicaid.
You might want to talk to the CPMs you are interested in and find out what they charge and how their fee structure works. Some women feel so strongly about birthing at home that it is worth it to pay out of pocket.
I am a nonlicensed CPM, in OH and I have gotten reimbursed by Cigna and a few other ins. companies. However most of my clients don't have insurance, so I don't deal w them often.
